SHIPPING TIME AND RETURN POLICY:

SHIPPING: We ship within 2 business days of payment most of the time (orders place over the weekend won't be processed until the following Monday. We ship via USPS: First Class for CDs, Media Mail for vinyl, and First Class Mail International for overseas orders (orders over 4lb require Priority Mail International). Actual shipping time varies by destination.

RETURNS: We generally do not accept returns except if something is not as described, and we take care to make sure everything fits our description. Sometimes CDs or vinyl will have a "cut-out" slice or "promo punch" either in the corner or through the UPC code - we will include this in the description if applicable. If there is a problem with an item, contact us and we will figure out the best action to take. We do NOT accept returns if you decide you simply don't like the item, or have buyer's remorse - buy wisely, and ask questions if necessary. Damage incurred during shipping should be brought up with the carrier but is extremely rare as we box everything adequately, including using extra cardboard for protection.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMBINING SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS WE SELL:

Use "Add To Cart". Before paying, there is a button marked "Ask Seller For A Total" - click this. Wait one business day for us to change the invoice or else it will charge you full shipping for each item (we will not refund extra shipping once paid). This may not work from a phone, only a computer. We have to change shipping by hand - typically we charge what is close to the actual cost with maybe a $1 USD handling fee per item to cover the cost of packing materials.

Item Summary:

At a time when soul-jazz was the zeitgeist when it came to jazz keyboards, musician/songwriter Larry Young bucked the reigning trends with his Hammond B-3 organ. Young's style, which came about during the mid-to-late 1960s, was sharp, technical, and highly influenced by modal scales, standing in contrast to the breezier style that players like Jimmy Smith has popularized. He further innovated through his percussive approach to jazz keys, which often relied upon effects and pedals, often fused with elements of avant-garde. Young's best known material was produced during his time an in-house artist at Blue Note Records, but as the 1970s kicked off he has jumped ship from Blue Note, and found himself jumping from label to label, all the while crafting some of the most remarkable albums and sessions of his career. Lawrence Of Newark is one such album; his only record produced through the short-lived Perception Records, and featuring some truly unique instrumentation and arrangements for a post-bop release. Notably opening with a sinister, droning cello, Lawrence Of Newark dips in and out of jazz, and into the realm of Middle-Eastern music, psychedelia, funk fusion, avant-garde, and outright improvised noise explosions. A very rare gem, as Perception Records dissolved the same year as Lawrence Of Newark's recording, but a worthy listen for any jazz enthusiast worth their salt.
